In November 2007, Scherzinger talked of her time in Eden’s Crush
“ …it was hell… I was in a band with five other girls and every day was torture for me. We were on TV all the time and the atmosphere was awful. I was the one nobody liked and there was nothing I could do to stop that. Maybe it was because I was the pretty one. The other girls thought I was bitchy and ambitious. They would all say things about me, both to my face and behind my back… Every day I was in that band I cried my eyes out. The band was meant to be fun and frivolous but the reality was that it was miserable… I was too sensitive back then, but I got toughened up. I couldn’t have gone into the Dolls without my experience in Crush.”
